CPU Heat w/ Distributed.Net Client?

yamla asks: "I run a dual-Celeron machine ( ABIT BP6) and primarily use Linux. I am concerned about heat and so I have added a second fan and used thermal paste. When I run the distributed.net client, the heat is CPU1:45C(113F), CPU2:49C(120F), SYS:55C(131F). Without this client running, my system is about ten degrees cooler at CPU1:34C(93F), CPU2:35C(95F), SYS:44C(111F). My question is simple. Should I stop running the distributed.net client or is this difference in heat nothing to be concerned about?" Wow! I've heard of hot software, but this might be too literal for comfort.
